    BBRY is doing quite well. Anyone familiar with balance sheets and cash flow statements knows that BBRY is not near death and has never beeen near death. The companyi s a cash generator. People need to realize this.

    People are startign to realize this. With 30%+ short interest in the stock, a short squeeze is overdue. I bought in at several price points. Lowest being around $8/ share. My only regret is not putting even more money into BBRY at that time.

  5. Physical Keyboard FTW by Bigbutt · · Score: 3, Funny

    Honestly, I have both an Android phone provided by work and an iPhone that I bought and the lack of a physical keyboard has driven me to fling both phones across the room more times that I care to admit (and autocorrect can die in a fire). I have two cracks across the face of my iPhone and am reluctant to upgrade to a new phone just because of the frustration of dealing with the lack of a physical keyboard. I used to have a Blackberry and really liked that it had a physical keyboard.

    Give them some credit. They were probably writing it on a BlackBerry keyboard.

    They'll have problems stealing market share from Windows Phone 8. Microsoft Windows Phone 8 is the best phone I've ever used, slick and professional yet friendly, warm and welcoming. Windows Phone 8 is the phone for me bar none, and it should be the phone for you.

    RIM may make good phones, but why would you buy anything but a Windows Phone 8, it's so clever, so smooth so intuitive and so beautiful!

    Have you tried it yet?
